  1. You're saying that like our name isn't all over the cup.
  2. Campbell is a midfielder, too similar to Brown or Ferguson to get a game there. I thought he'd be decent at left back, but he's not delivered to date. He was okay defensively tonight but you'd expect his use of the ball to be far better. Jury is still out, but I think he'll turn out alright. Seems to have a decent footballing brain, but maybe wanting a bit too much time on it at the moment.
  3. That was the worst we've been in a while. I'm still not seeing the entertaining fitba we were promised. Predictable pish. Goodwin knew exactly how to set up tonight, give Bates the time and space and cover the outballs so he has zero options. Attack McRorie when it goes to him and he'll just fire it away. If we do get it forward, press hard and we'll fuck it up. I mean, they played for a draw and got fucking lucky that Ramsay decided that defending was optional. Really bad defending like, horrendous positioning. Great finish, but we weren't offered anything like that on a plate from Tanser or Fraser. Cowan is fucking irritating too, further ruining the game. Jet came on for Hedges and so took up the positions across the front that Hedges would have, only 40mph slower (negative speed). That was clearly "tactical". Should have been told to stay close to Ramirez and stretch them. Ojo, Jenks and Hedges at the same time isn't a thing, unless we're trying to be solid against the scum. They trip over each other trying to play narrow.
  4. Nothing happened, just not an impact sub. As soon as he was relegated to bit part player he was always going to struggle. I still think he's better than McLennan, and probably jet and Jenks too, but I understand the need to wind down his game time and if he gets regular fitba at Dundee, I could see him scoring a few. Fuck knows what the idiots in the dons support will accuse him of when he scores against us and doesn't celebrate. "He disnae try against them".
  5. Bit slow with breaking that news. Hopefully your prospective client won't take that into account tomorrow. I mean, I would, but that's just me.
  6. Anyway, McGinn to Dundee? Thought they hated him for sending them down. Hope he does it again. Good luck to him, been a fantastic player for the club, and even when he's been pish lately he's worked hard.
  7. Fuck sake, he's bloody Colombian anyway. David Gonzalez then.
  8. Van De Ven was pish. Ten Caat was average. Ferne Snoyl was vastly overrated. Gillhaus and Snelders are the benchmark (Mason disnae count, he was English), and Van Der Ark gets a special mention for being fucking massive. I think we can all agree that he's already better than Dave Bus. Edit: and Dyron Daal Edit again: Touzani was okay, and I'm nae old enough to remember Sven Baas
  9. I have it on good authority that he's actually fae Dyce.
  10. A lot of flailing tackles in those clips! Also, they suspiciously seemed to cut away before the final ball/shot on many of them. I've a feeling I could put together 2-3 minutes of McLennan clips that would make him look fairly decent, and that's basically the benchmark for this lad - to be better than McLennan. I'll put him down for a hattrick the morn.
  11. I've heard he could be the next De Visscher. Welcome aboard loon.
  12. As long as they keep Davidson for another week.
  13. Scottish Cup - fifth round Motherwell v Aberdeen Celtic v Raith Rovers Abroath v Hibernian Annan Athletic v Rangers Hearts v Livingston Peterhead v Dundee Partick Thistle v Dundee Utd St Mirren v Kelty Hearts
  14. Good training match for the Dons today. They weren't up to much. Difficult to learn much from it, other than it's difficult to play a game exclusively in one half of the pitch. Jet challenging miles storey in the sitter of the century competition, an absolute horrendous miss. Ojo played well today, although we should have been bringing on a wide player to give us a bit more width (in place of Jenks) after Hedges went off. Barron looked neat and tidy and not ready to trouble the first team, but it'd be nice to see him get more minutes this season if another loan can't be arranged.
  15. Boyle away to the journalist murderers. Assuming his wife will be signing for their women's team.
  16. If they'd just remove the Hun from their name, they'd be in a lot better shape.
  17. Agreed. He's not in the defensive line, so plays everyone onside. He's too close to the keeper, making it difficult for Lewis know whether to come for it or if McRorie is dealing with it. I mean, Ramsay got dragged way in , and it left acres of space for Kent to put in a very good cross, but it's McRorie's unsettling, panicky movement that really confuses things. Joe will feel he could have done better, but a jittery defender in front of you is very off putting. I'm still to be convinced by McRorie like. That type of error happens to often. He just lacks the composure of a good defender, and seems to have real basic positional issues. On the plus side, Bates is getting better every week.
  18. He ran and got the ball, as if the draw wasn't enough. He looked determined, and maybe slightly relieved after that dirty Hun Uri Geller tried to fuck up his penalty. I don't know what the poster on Twitter is suggesting, but you don't have to look too far back to see Ferguson celebrating a winner against the Huns.
  19. Yep, as I said earlier in the thread, I could well see us beating Edinburgh 1-0 at the weekend, with 96% possession. Worryingly, we're creating half chances most of the time, very few chances in the last 5 or 6 games you'd class as sitters. We're not even getting to that stage.
  20. Agree with a lot of that. I think the Morelos pen just crosses the border into his hand being out, and with the new rules most definitely a pen. He didn't complain at all. Having seen the McGregor incident back, he definitely makes contact with Hedges and deliberately so (because everything McGregor does is deliberate). I can also see, in real time, why the ref might not have thought it was a foul, so I don't think it's the worst decision. The cards were a joke. The first couple of Hun bookings, Hayes' and Ramsay's were completely avoidable (although he seemed to suggest Ramsay's was for multiple infringements, which I must have missed). I think you're being slightly harsh on the dons overall though. We kept a good team very quiet and dominated possession. We could have created more, but they're strong defensively too, it wasn't like we were playing Dundee. Hopefully see a few out and a couple in over the next fortnight.
  21. Glass saying that Ferguson not going to Cagliari. I think the Italian league would be a good move for him. I'm hoping that whoever comes in for him will give us the Kenny McLean option of keeping him until summer. He dominated the Huns midfield last night and that's a run of about 6-7 games where he's really starting to show his ability. I think we'd really struggle to replace him and especially in this window, but I also think we'll miss out on the best form of his career if we cash in right now.
  22. I think he's a great player and was hoping McInnes might have made a move for him a while back, but it seems he only picks up the shite players that have good games against us.
